Nigeria and the SDGs

The Nigerian government has through its policy statement and direction, demontrated some focus on the SDG17 by: • Establishing an SDG Coordinating Office with the appointment of a senior special assistant to the president

on the SDGs• Integration of the SDGs into the Country’s national development framework, its national policies and plans

with the following focus of its Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP)• Restoring Growth• Investing in People• Building a globally competitive economy

International Development Partners:UNDP, UNESCO, DFID, UNMC, EARTH INSTITUE

Renewed drive for public-private collaboration With the mainstreaming of the SDGs into its national programmes and budget heads, there is a renewed drive for public-private sector collaboration with the inauguration of the Nigerian Private Sector Advisory Group (PSAG) on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

6: Clean Water and sanitation

Nigeria has a water resources potential of 370 Billion Cubic metres made up of 287 BCM/year generated internally and 88 BCM from trans boundary sources.

As at 2015, the National Access to potable water and adequate sanitation was 69 and 29 per cents respectively with national access to pipe borne water supply only 7%.

World Bank report shows NRW averaging 65% in four major states of the country.

Nigeria needs to invest $8 billion yearly in potable water – UNICEF In 2014 the World Bank committed $250million in improving water supply service and financial

viability in selected states in the country. Programme still on-going Arla through its ‘Milky Way Partnership Project Nigeria will be contributing to this goal as water

forms part of the infrastructure to be provided in cluster communities of herders and their families. This has spurred one of the focal state governments to action and there is a good possibility of

having the project replicated in a much larger scale Some indication of interest from Grundfos in the Milky Way project and will be reviewing the water

needs to evaluating their input to the same project.


7: Affordable and Clean Energy

Nigeria needs more than 10 times its current electricity output to guarantee supply for its 198 million people - nearly half of whom have no access at all Only 1 in 4 people in rural Nigeria is connected to the Grid Targets expanding electricity access to 75 percent of the population by

2020 and 90 percent by 2030 Nigeria targets 30% renewables in its energy mix by 2030, signs 14 solar

power purchase agreements. current component of grid power consists mainly of gas-fired power (85%)

and hydropower (15%) Early this year the World Bank Approved $486 Million to Improve Nigeria

Electricity Transmission Network and Infrastructure through 2021 Nigeria currently has the capacity to produce an estimated 7,000 megawatts

(MW) of power with only 4,000 reaching the national grid due to weak infrastructure, gas supply problems and water shortages

The largest is the Mambilla Power Station in central Nigeria, a $5.79 billion project due to be completed in 2024 with most of the financing coming from Chinese lenders

To enable it generate 3,050 MW of renewable energy in the rural region, and is scheduled to be completed in 2024

Given the country’s climate though, most of the focus is on generating solar power and distributing through mini grids in rural areas 5

9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure

Nigeria’s capital budget has for the past 3years been to focused on critical on-going infrastructure projects: roads, railways, power, ICT; to drive economic activities and growth

- ‘spending its way out of the recession’


9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure

AfDB projects $3tr for Nigeria’s infrastructure financing by 2044; saysNigeria would no longer rely on its yearly budgets to fund infrastructuredevelopment, hence the need for partnership with investors through apublic private partnership (PPP) to attract private funds to deliver suchprojects

GE-led consortium signs Interim Phase Agreement for railway projectwith Nigerian government. The International Consortium led by GE hassigned an agreement in Washington D.C. to proceed with the InterimPhase of the Nigerian narrow-gauge railway concession, following itsaward of preferred bidder status by the Federal Government of Nigeria inMay 2017.

The consortium is led by GE and includes Chinese construction companySinoHydro, South African transport and logistics operator Transnet andport and intermodal operator APM Terminals

The China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) has beenquite active in rail development in the country and recently got awarded asubstantial rail building contract worth $6.68bn connecting two majorcommercial cities in the north and south


15: Life on Land

Oil spill is a key environmental issue in the Niger Delta region of the Nigeria as the base of its huge oil and gas industry.

A UNDP report states that there have been a total of 6,817 oil spills between 1976 and 2001, which account for a loss of three million barrels of oil… 69% of these spills occurred off-shore; a quarter was in swamps and 6% spilled on land.• The UNEP report recommended the creation of a USD 1

billion Environmental Restoration Fund for Ogoni land or Ogoni Restoration Fund (ORF) with capital of USD 1 billion, to be co-funded by the Federal Government, NNPC and the SPDC JV.

• In February 2017, the SPDC JV provided $10 million to help set up the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) office as part of its contribution towards funding its share of the ORF.


15: Life on Land

Notable Danish interest in this area is Desmi:

DESMI has escalated its activities in Nigeria with in partnership with two local companies / agents to become Nigerias 1st Full Oil Spill Service Delivery Company.
